Calibr ation Procedur e


General Information

Service, Adjustment and Repair

This instrument can be serviced, adjusted and repaired without losing the validity of the CE-marking provided the
measuring equipment used is fulfilling the demands below, the adjustment procedure are followed and the
personnel is having the necessary qualifications approved by Interacoustics.

Before any kind of the calibration can take place, the AT235 must have been on power for at least 3-5 minutes in a
normal temperature milieu, and the instrument must be in the same milieu for a reasonable time.

While keeping <shift> and <Print> buttons down, switch power on at the rear panel of the instrument. By use of the
F keys enter password: 1 2 3 4 . The AT235 is now in software calibration menu.

If a printer is connected to the instrument is it possible to get a complete detailed description of the instrument set-

up.
While keeping <shift> and <Store> buttons down, switch power on at the rear panel of the instrument.

The AT235 has to kinds of calibration: hardware and software calibration. The software calibration can be done
without opening the instrument. When the instrument has been hardware calibrated, it must be followed by a
software calibration.

Error i n s tored d ata (EEPROM Error )


If any error occurs in stored data an error dialog box is displayed when powering up. The text will be “EEPROM
Error!!!”, "Contact Technician!".

https://es.scribd.com/document/400204608/AT235-Service-Manual Página 9 de 74
AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02

Please power off and on the instrument once, if the problem still occurs please see instruction below.

Before trying anything, please read the whole instruction and be aware thatthe instrument needs to be re-
calibrated no m ater w hat you do.

What happens if …

1. Should this error box occur press <shift>+<Print>


2. Enter the password for entering the Calibration menu
3. Select the EEPROM menu (F4)
4. Press F6 for doing a totally data recovery. By doing so the program inserts factory data all over the
EEPROM.
5. Turn off/on power and see if the error box comes again.
6. If so replace the EEPROM IC on the main board (HN58C65)
7. Recalibrate the instrument under all circumstances.

Note! This error is probably an indication of an unstable EEPROM IC so even though the system should work after
at total recovery it is recommended to change the IC.

Equipment for t he Calibration

In order to assure correct calibration of the audiometric equipment, it is important that the necessary measuring
equipment is used and that it is reliable and stable.

Minimum requirements for measuring equipment:

- Measuring amplifier with input for condenser microphone or a sound level meter, fulfilling the
demands of IEC 651 Type 1.
- Acoustics coupler, 6cc and 2cc fulfilling the demand of IEC 303 and IEC 126.
- 1” pressure field condenser microphone for the above-mentioned couplers, fulfilling the
demands of the IEC 1094-1.
- Manometer with a range from at least +300 to – 600 daPa and a accuracy of ± 5% of reading
or ± 5 daPa which ever is the greatest. Including a syringe (manual pump).
- The CAT40 calibration cavities (0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 ml)

AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02

- The CAT40 calibration cavities (0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 ml)


- It is recommended to have an acoustic calibrator for the control of the complete measuring

- chain
General purpose frequency counter
- General purpose digital multimeter
- General purpose oscilloscope in order to trace and monitor signals

Ai r System

The safety valves and the pump system are adjusted in correct way from factory. Normally it should not be
adjusted, but if the pump tube has to be exchanged it is necessary to readjust the spring on the pump. Please
always use pre-cutted pump tubes ordered from Interacoustics.

Control of the pump system:


Go to Calibration > Probe > Press > Real menu. Place the probe into a cavity (airtight connection). Press the !
button (F2) until you reached +300 daPa in the “Pump Ctrl” field on the display. If the build-up pressure keep at 300
daPa the system is airtight.

If the instrument is out of calibration you can connect an external manometer and a syringe between the air
connection on the rear plate and the probe tube. Press the syringe until +300 daPa is reached and inspect the
manometer. If the pressure is stable the system is airtight.

Safety valve:
The safety valve must release the pressure then the pressure is out of limit. It means if the pressure is larger than
+500 daPa (± 100 daPa) or if the pressure is larger then –700 daPa (± 100 daPa).

Adju st ment o f t he pump sprin g:

manometer and a the
menu. Place syringe between
probe into a
cavity (airtight connection). Press the ! button until +400 daPa is reached and inspect the manometer. Adjust the
spring until the pressure decrease very slow down. Pump again until +400 daPa is reached. Inspect the
manometer and if the pressure is stable or decrease very slow the adjustment is fine, else turn the screw clockwise
until the manometer is stable. Repeat the pump procedure again and inspect the manometer for stable pressure.
Repeat this until the pressure is stable. Now the spring is correct adjusted.

Before the contra nut is fasten the screw has to bee turned three times clockwise to be sure that the system is and
will stay airtight.

AT235 Service manual page 10

Hardware Calibr ation


To enter the calibration menus please switch off power – hold down shift while pressing Print key – turn on power
again. Hold the keys down until you can enter a password. The factory setting of the password is 1 2 3 4, but
dealer may have changed it in order to protect the calibration.

Note! The hardware calibration is normally only done once in the instrument lifetime and at the factory.

Potentiometers (P) and measuringpoints (MP) refers to Mainboard Index page 38. Measurements are made with
reference to MP0, MP4 and MP15 (GND)

At ten uat or Cali br ati on

The DC-controlled amplifiers (IC4 and IC15) can be one of following types (SSM2018, THAT2181 or THAT2180).
The THAT2181 circuits need a calibration for harmonic distortion and in this case, two extra adjustments (P6, P7)
have to be carried out.
A distortion meter is necessary for calibration to minimum distortion.

Enter the Attenuator Calibration menu from the Calibration menu by pressing F5 – “Att”.

This is the calibration picture for channel 1.

AT235 Service manual page 12

Software Calibration
A software calibration must always be performed when the instrument has been opened for hardware calibration or
if an EEPROM error has occurred.

The calibration is a service calibration, which means, that if the instrument has changed its values during time or
because of manual chock, corrections for moderate changes in the software can be made by means of the figures
in the EEPROM.

To enter the calibration menus please switch off power – hold down shift while pressing Print key – turn on power
again. Hold the keys down until you can enter a password. The factory setting of the password is 1 2 3 4, but

Pressure Calibration

Pressure Calibration. Figure 6

Looking at the picture you will see two lines (if the instrument is calibrated) in a diagram. The dotted line is the
calibration line that graphically gives you information regarding the calibration of the pressure. The normal line is an
average line and by comparing the two lines you can get quick overview of the pressure calibration. You can also
read the actual ADC values under Points if necessary.

To Calib rate Pressu re System

Press Calib (F1) and follow the instructions on the screen.

To Test the Probe Calibration


If the probe is calibrated you can test the calibration among other things in the “Probe Real Mode”. Select Real (F6)

Probe Real Mode Figure 9

This menu is designed for testing the calibration of the Probe system and the pressure safety valves.

Manually pump control


Use F1 or F2 to change “Pump Control” (status window to the right) until it shows the descried pump pressure.

Notice the “Pressure” status window below.


Safety valve test
The safety valve in the pressure system is designed with -800 daPa as minimum and +600 daPa as maximum
limits for pump pressure (normal pressure range is –600 to 300 daPa). Note! The safety valve may release before
limits.

Connect a manometer to the pressure system that can measure pressures from –800 daPa to +600 daPa.

Press “Valve -” (F3) until the manometer stops its movement. Notice the pressure and if the pressure lies within –
800 and –650 daPa the valve works properly.
Press “Valve +” (F4) until the manometer stops its movement. Notice the pressure and if the pressure lies within
+350 and +600 daPa the valve works properly.

EEPROM Service Menu. Figure 14

If needed it is possible to insert factory data for either the calibration or for the whole setting of the instrument.

Insert Factory Calibration Values


The Calib (F5) function inserts factory values all over the calibration (calibration values, maximum levels,
calibration levels, extended range settings and filter settings), but leaves the set-up data untouched.

The Total funct ion


Total (F6) is a function that is designed for pre calibrating the EEPROM if the IC are replaced. The function inserts
values into the calibration and the set-up that lies close to the final calibration.

Note! Using the “Calib” and the “Total” function always requires the instrument to be recalibrated.

Ap pend ix A Descrip tion of the RS232 Interface

General Specification

The RS232 interface is designed to transmit data from the audiometer to a computer, and to control the audiometer
from a computer.

Pin Connection

The following pins on the RS232 socket are used:

Plug for PC (25 pins) Plug for PC (9 Pins) Description: Plug for Instrumnet (9 pin)
Pin number: Pin number: Pin number:

2 3 Received data (RxD) 3


3 2 Transmitted data (TxD) 2
5 8 Clear To Send (CTS) 8
6 6 Data Set Ready (DSR) 6
20 4 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) 4
7 5 Signal Ground 5

Logic Levels
Data:
Mark: "1" = -12 volt

Space: "0" = 12 volt

Control:
On: = 12 volt

Off: = -12 volt

Data Format

AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02

Data Format

Data transmitted to the audiometer is and must be asynchronously and consist of:

1 start bit

8 data bits

Even parity bit

1 stop bit

The baud rate can be selected internally ( by use of set-up ) between the following values:
38400 and 57600 B/S.

AT235 Appendix A page 1

Control Wires
The DSR pin is always ON when the RS232 cable is connected.

The pins DTR and CTS is used for handshake in the following way:

The PC wants to transmit data to the instrument.


1. If the CTS is OFF no data transmission is possible.
2. If the CTS is ON the bytes can be transmitted until CTS goes OFF. The Instrument sets CTS OFF
when the buffer is 75% full and when an EOT is received. If the EOT is between a Block Start and
Block End, the Instrument does not set CTS OFF when receiving EOT.

The Instrument wants to transmit data to the PC.


1. If the DTR is OFF, no data transmission will take place.
2. If the DTR is ON the bytes to transmit will be transmitted, until DTR goes OFF.

Data from PC to Instrument


CTS goes High when the Instrument has processed the data.

DTR

All signals are measured on the IFC69 cable and seen from the Instrument.

AT235 Appendix A page 2

Communication

RS 232 Standard for Interacoustics A/S

Both the computer and the instrument can send out a request for information or send back requested information.
To make it easier to understand how the philosophy behind the RS232 communication standard works for an
instrument and a PC the following terms will be used. The part that request information will be called a Master and
the part who will send back requested information will be called a Slave.

Master Slave

RS232
communication

Master/slave communication. Figure 2

Data transmission between the Master and the Slave are using the following format.

Data packet from a Master device.

Recipient Sender Direction Header Data CRC (optional)

Data packet from a Slave device.

Recipient Sender Header Data

“Recipient” and “sender” are revered for later use and can be ignored. Both the Recipient and the Sender are
consisting of two bytes each.

A data packet form a Master will always contain a Direction. This direction tells the slave if it has to store or to send
out the kind of data the header describes. The header is an indicator for the type of data and how the are
transmitted.

Control Codes

All information’s in the transmission between a Master and a Slave are controlled by control codes (see table 1).

Code Hex Descript ion Code Hex Descript ion


STX 02 Start of TeXt GS 1D Group Separator
EOT 04 End Of Transmission RS 1E Record Separator
SOH 01 Start Of Header SI 0F Shift In
US 1F Unit Separator SO 0E Shift Out
OK 18 CRC Ok ERR 19 CRC Error
Control Codes. Table 1.

A data packet from a Master will look like this with all its control codes:

STX Recipient US Sender US Direction SOH Header US Data US EOT

Or with CRC check

AT235 Appendix A page 3

https://es.scribd.com/document/400204608/AT235-Service-Manual Página 41 de 74
AT235 Service Manual | Calibration | Headphones 09/03/20 14)02

STX Recipi US Sen US Directi SOH Head US Data US CRC Value EOT
ent der on er 5 digits

Direction can either be SO or SI. If It is a SO (shift out) direction the Master wants to send data into the slave and if
it is a SI (shift in) direction the Master wants to receive data.
A data packet from a Slave will look like this with all its control codes:

STX Recipient US Sender US SOH Header US Data EOT

Note! When a Master is using a SO direction the slave will send back nothing! When the master uses CRC check,
the slave respond with OK or ERR.

Each time data is transmitted a US control code is added. Ex. 10 US 125 US .... With this construction it is always
possible to see when all bytes in a single data transmission is completed.

CRC Check

The Instrument supports CRC Check on the bytes received from the PC. If the data packet contains a CRC value
the Instrument calculates the CRC value of the bytes received and responds with OK or ERR. If the Instrument
responds with ERR, send the data packet again. The CRC value is calculated from the STX to and including the
EOT, the CRC value is added between the last US and EOT, and must always be 5 digits.

Header and Data Formats

A header consists of a control code (SOH) and 6 bytes (header). Each header tells witch kind of data that follows
and how the data format is. The following table describes the different types of headers and their data format.

Block Start Header and Block End Header

If the Master wants to send a sequence of headers, and do not want the Slave to respond on the EOT’s, the
headers is send with a Block Start in the beginning and a Block End at the end. The slave waits for the Block End,
before it processes the data. Similar when the Slave sends back data to the Master, it can pack the data headers in
between a Block Start and a Block End, to indicate when all the requested data is send.

Online Communication
Valid from software version AT235h 1.10108 and AT235 1.11108
The AT235 is capable to send information to the PC, whenever things change in the instrument and when data is
obtained from the probe. The online communication is enabled from the PC, because it only is used together with a
PC. The Online Communication is not completely implemented yet, so subject to change.

How the Instrument wor ks

When the AT235 is doing its normal measurements it is running in automated mode where everything is preset.
That why the menu is called "Auto impedance". There are three screens in this mode. One where "all" information
are put together (Tymp and Reflex mixed), one full screen with tymp (extended tymp) and one full screen with
reflex (extended reflex). When an automated session takes place the instrument switches to a menu without any
graphically interface called "Do Test". This is the control centre of the instrument where the list of tasks to perform
are placed and executed. Further more there are a "Do Tymp" menu and a "Do Reflex" menu also without
graphically interface that deals with the measuring of data. That's why the "menu" item changes during a
measurement.

Menu’s like EFT and Manual Reflex measurement uses the “Do Tymp” menu and the “Do Reflex” menu without the
“Do Test” menu.

The inside (both hardware and software) of the instrument is designed with two sound channels. This is necessary
when we need to produce both a probe tone and stimuli at the same time. The CPU is in control of a DSP with a
two channel Codex. When monitoring the state of the instrument you therefore needed to show the state of two
channels. The probe tone is always controlled from channel 2.

Description A slow speed will be more time consuming, but may give more detailed information. The horizontally
displacement of the tympanogram peak in the sweeping direction caused by inherent hysteresis of
the system will be smaller with lower speed.

Automatic is a mode where sweep speed at the beginning will be Maximum (150 daPa/sec) and
when the gradient is smaller than 5 the speed will be slowed to Medium (50 daPa/sec). When the
peak is bigger than 5 again the speed will be set to Maximum (150 daPa/sec) again.

AT235 Appendix B page 2

Description Mode is set to “Compensated” if you want to have the curve displayed at the floor of the coordinate
system. In “Non compensated” mode the tymp curve will be displayed including the ear canal
volume.

Gradient Unit

Factory ml Range ml, daPa or Off

Description The gradient is an expression of the shape of the tymp curve. Narrow or wide.

If ml is selected the gradient will be calculated the following way: The program will go 50 daPa to
each side from compliance value and save the two ml values. The gradient is the average of the two
ml values subtracted from the compliance value.
If daPa is selected the gradient will be calculated the following way: The program searches from
each end of the tymp curve and stores the pressure where the point at the tymp curve is equal to
compliance value divided with 2. Gradient is equal to the two stored pressures subtracted from one
another.

If Off is selected the gradient box will be removed from the user interface.

Setti ng up Reflex Tests


The AT235 can hold information for two reflex tests: Reflex Test A and Reflex Test B. Each test can hold setup
options for 6 reflexes expressed in the table in the bottom of the screen figure (see figure 5). The upper part of the
screen describes how and with what method the 6 reflexes will be taken. So the reflex setup is a matter of
determined the start conditions for each of the 6 reflexes in the table (output, stimuli, level and if in use or not) and
with what method the reflex will be taken.

Note that it is the same method for all 6 reflexes. If you want one reflex with one method and another reflex with
another method, use Reflex Test A and Reflex Test B.

Navigating and changing in the Table


Use the 4 arrow keys to move the bar in the table. You can use change to select another option for a given item,
but you may also use the dedicated keys as well. If for an example you want to change the level you can use the
dB keys instead of the Change (F1). See Figure 3.

Fixed Reflex. Figure 23

Screening (10 dB Steps)

Reflex Method Screening (10 dB Steps). Figure 24

AT235 Appendix B page 6

Method description

The Screening method is an auto test for detecting reflexes. Starting at level from the reflex table the automation
will do a reflex measurement and verify the reflex against the reflex sensitivity box (see “Reflex Sensitivity”). If the
reflex is bigger than the sensitivity box the test is done. If not the intensity level will increase with 10 dB and do
another reflex. This will continue until the reflex is bigger than the sensitivity box or until maximum intensity level
has been reached.

Reflex Method Auto (5 dB). Figure 25


Method description

The auto test method is a bit different from the screening method. It presents a stimulus for a time of approximately
80 mS where after it verifies the compliance against the start compliance. If the difference is bigger than the size of
the reflex sensitivity test box (see “Reflex Sensitivity”), it performs a reflex measurement. The reflex is then tested
against the reflex sensitivity test box. If the reflex is outside the test box the reflex measurement is done. If not the
instrument performs the same test once again. If the search fails after second attempt the instrument will continue
the search with the screening method in 5 dB steps instead of the currently auto search. If the reflex intensity level
reaches maximum intensity level for the transducer the search is done accepting the reflex found.

Sequence

Reflex Method Sequence. Figure 26

Method description

The sequence method gives the possibility of having up to 6 single reflexes in one Figure. The level from the table
is used as start level and the jump between each reflex can be set in “Level increase”. The screening method has
stop criteria so it stops the measurement if the reflex is equal to or bigger than the reflex sensitivity test box. The
function can be selected on or off and the level of sensitivity can be selected in the “Reflex Sensitivity” item.

Reflex sensitivi ty
When using reflex the automatic methods Automatic or Screening, the AT235 uses an algorithm to determined if a
reflex is okay or not. The level of sensitivity can be set with setup item “Reflex Sensitivity” where you can choose
between Sensitive, Normal or Robust. The AT235 has two different modes of leveling sensitivity : ml or % (can be
set in the Advanced User Setup) and depending on what method you will get different results. Look in the following
Figures for the difference.

When using auto search for reflexes the algorithms in the software will go on until intensity has reached maximum
level for the selected transducer at the give frequency. So the software in two ways can accept the reflex: the reflex

The first reflex is okay because the reflex does not touch the test box. The two last reflexes is not okay according
to the algorithm but has been accepted because of maximum intensity level.

Sensitive (2 %) Normal (4 %) Robust (6 %)

Reflex Sensitivity in %. Figure 30

All three reflexes are okay because none of them is inside or touching the test box.

The height of the test box when using % sensitivity depends on the size of the ear volume.

The sensitivity condition is used by the auto method, screening method and by the sequence method.

Note! The test box is not shown in the AT235 software. It only serves as examples of what sensitivity is and how
we do it.

EEPROM Menu. Figure 40

The AT235 provides a tool for administrating the information stored in the setups. It can store, restore the setup
and initiate to factory settings either from this EEROM menu or restore setup data trough a key press during power
up.

When the setup of the instrument is done you can enter this menu and store all settings as an original setup. If a
user changes in some setup items and cannot get the instrument to work properly afterwards ask the person to
switch off power, hold down <shift>+<F4>, switch power on again and press “Yes” (F1) when the instrument asks
you to restore setup to original setup. By doing so you bring the setup back to the settings you stored before you
send it to the user.

You can also guide the user in to this EEPROM menu, but that requires you to tell the user the password.

Factory setting is our way of doing the setup.
